Final Words

“	The realization that my Survivor experience is over is weighing heavily on me. It does hurt to know that that four would rather play with someone like Abi, who they feel like they can beat these next few days, as opposed to me. I can understand it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. They're playing with their heads, not their hearts, at this point.	”
—Carter Williams

Trivia

Life at Ponderosa

Carter is welcomed at Ponderosa by the jury members. In his post-game medical, Carter is revealed to drop from 165.9 lbs. to 147.8 lbs. After dinner, Jonathan takes on a Selecta "3-in-1 +1" ice cream tub (which has four different flavors in it). Jonathan tries out two of flavors, which are spelled in Filipino (the ice cream flavors are "ube," which is "purple yam," a popular Filipino dessert, and "keso," meaning "cheese"). The two other flavors are the common chocolate and strawberry.

After a heavy breakfast of cereal, Carter joins Pete and Artis at the gym. Before lunch, the jurors hang out in the pool while Jeff and Jonathan prepare lunch. R.C. gets to know Carter a little more, as they had very little interaction during time in the game. Later, R.C. expresses her displeasure at Jeff's negative demeanor.

Carter predicts that Denise, Lisa, Malcolm and Mike will vote Abi-Maria next.
